Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 73: The show-off dad, the show-off mom, and the promising son laugh haha
Yan Jiang and Zhang Hong still felt sorry for their son. They didn't want to send away the guests who came earlier, but they would not receive the guests who came later.

After a busy period, we finally saw off the last wave of guests.

After a hearty meal, Yan Li opened the trunk and called his parents to start moving things into the store.

"Mom, this is a wool sweater I bought for you and my dad. It's warm and comfortable. It's from Hengyuanxiang."

"This is a dim sum from Beijing Daoxiang Village. You can try it later. This is a specialty bought from Shenzhen City. They are all Hong Kong-style snacks."

"This is the Melatonin they talked about on TV. I asked about it, and it's not very useful, but it's famous and can be used as a gift when visiting relatives during the New Year."

"This is donkey-hide gelatin, which is good for beautifying the skin and nourishing the yin and moistening the lungs. This is Tong Ren Tang's medicinal wine, which replenishes qi and nourishes the body, strengthening the tendons and bones. I bought a little extra on purpose so that I can share some with my uncle, aunt, and my aunts later."

"Two bottles of Wuliangye and two bottles of Moutai for my dad to treat everyone to during the Chinese New Year. This gold bracelet is for my mom, and two gold rings. My mom keeps one and the rest is for my grandma.

"........."

Looking at the pile of things and the Santana parked at the door, Yan Jiang and his wife were more worried than happy.

"Son, you haven't done anything illegal, have you?"

Yan Li was speechless: "Who do you think I am? Didn't I tell you two when I called you before? I got a role and started a small business. I have money."

"Even if you have money, you can't spend it carelessly. It's not easy to earn money."

Zhang Hong felt sorry for her son and just grumbled a little. Old Comrade Yan was still a little hesitant: "What kind of business is this?"

It's not that he is narrow-minded as a father. It can be seen from Yan Li's personality and behavior that he has not been an honest child since he was young.

Although he had never made any major mistakes, he had also made a lot of trouble. When Yan Li went to the martial arts school, his family was worried that the school would be strict and would not cause trouble, so it would be a good opportunity to temper his temper.

Yan Li earned money and bought some things for his family, which was a good thing for him to be filial to his parents, but he was so generous that Old Yan was a little confused.

Being an actor and doing business are not that easy!

Their family runs a small restaurant and has no money or background. Yan Li is a young man who just graduated and is wandering around Beijing. It's lucky that he doesn't ask his family for money, and he still earns so much.

"I knew you didn't believe me."

Yan Li shook his head and took out a prepared document bag: "Look, this is my signed actor contract, business contract, and a copy of the company's business license."

Comrade Lao Yan was not polite and opened it to take a look. He didn't understand much, but it looked quite formal, which made him feel more at ease.

"You are just too suspicious. Our son has already learned well. No, my son has always been a good boy."

Zhang Hong stood up for her son and blamed Lao Yan for his unreasonable suspicions.

No one knows a son better than his mother. Zhang Hong has always believed that although her son is a little restless, he is just a little naughty and not a bad person.

At the beginning, I didn't understand and would have just asked a few more questions. But my son has already produced the proof, and you still keep asking me questions. It really hurts his feelings.

"My mother still loves me."

Yan Li hugged his mother affectionately and said, "My dad doesn't believe me anyway, so why don't you give the wine I bought to my uncles and aunts-in-law?"

"Who said I don't trust my son?"

Comrade Lao Yan retorted, trying to excuse himself: "You bought so many things without telling anyone, which parent wouldn't ask a few more questions?"

"Yes, yes, do you still want this wine? If not, I will give it to my uncle and my uncle-in-law."

"You have the money to burn it. I can't even bear to drink this wine. It would be nice to get them a bottle of Lanling King."

Lao Yan placed a few bottles of wine under the cash register cabinet, but felt a little uneasy, so he put them in a cardboard box and planned to take them home to hide them.

Zhang Hong grumbled that he was stingy, but then turned around and complained that Yan Li was too generous. It was okay for him to buy things for his parents and grandmother, but the uncles had their own children and did not need Yan Li's filial piety.

No wonder you two can become a couple!
Although he was complaining in his heart, Yan Li nodded in agreement. Being stubborn would only cause more nagging, so he just muddled through it.

After tidying up the shop briefly, Yan Li drove his parents home.

Their family lives in a village not far from the hotel, called Bailou Village.

However, there are no white buildings in the village. It is just an ordinary village. There must have been similar buildings in the past, and then it got its name. Now, with the passage of time, only the name remains.

The village is only a few miles away from the hotel, and it takes no more than ten minutes to ride a bike.

In early 2003, in an economically underdeveloped small city like Zaoshi, there were very few people in the village who owned cars.

Although it was just a Santana 2000, it attracted a lot of attention as soon as it entered the village.

It was probably because Yan Li's license plate began with the Chinese character "京" (Beijing). Cars from outside Beijing were rare in the village. "Drive slower."

Zhang Hong gave some instructions and sat in the car looking around. Finally, she met a few women and old ladies who were not afraid of the cold and were chatting together at the entrance of an alley.

Yan Li knew what his mother was planning at first glance, and cooperated very well, driving the car slowly to the entrance of the alley.

Zhang Hong, who had already closed the car window, greeted those people enthusiastically.

"His fourth aunt, you're chatting here."

"Yeah, Yan Li is back. He just arrived this afternoon."

"This car is his own. I didn't know. Oh, this kid is so young, but he can't hold on to the money he earns. He bought me a car and a gold bracelet. He doesn't know how to manage life at all. I'm so worried about him."

"I don't care about whether I have any future or not."

"..."

Zhang Hong became more and more excited as she talked. If Comrade Lao Yan hadn't been unable to bear it anymore and pulled her a few times, they would probably have talked until it was time to have dinner and leave.

"You can be a show-off, but when someone comes to borrow money, you behave yourself."

Old Yan scolded Zhang Hong, but when he passed by the village store, he also stopped the car.

"You guys go home first, I'll buy a pack of cigarettes."

Yan Li patted the Yuxi in his pocket and said, "I have some here, and there are several in the trunk. No need to buy."

"I can't get used to it."

Comrade Lao Yan pushed open the car door and walked into the store with his pot belly. Zhang Hong snorted in disdain.

"Your father is so shameless. He just finished talking about me and then went to the store to brag."

Yan Li nodded in agreement, then honked the horn to make it easier for Comrade Yan to get into the topic of his son returning home.

When I was young, I often caused trouble at home and rarely made my parents happy.

Now that he has achieved some small success and can make his parents proud, Yan Li is very happy. He likes to see his parents showing off.

Finally arrived home, as soon as the car stopped, the barking of dogs could be heard in the yard.

After running the restaurant for so many years, although Yan Li's family did not move to the city, they are still considered a wealthy family in the village. The large bungalow they renovated a few years ago is one of the best in the village.

Although the house is nice, the atmosphere in the countryside is generally bad, and it is inevitable that there will be some petty thefts. The more luxurious the house, the more likely it is to be targeted.

Especially since Yan Li has a small family and Old Yan has to go to the store from time to time, so in order to prevent accidents, they have several dogs at home.

If you happen to encounter a thief, with a few dogs barking and people around, the thief will be scared and run away.

After entering the house and moving their things, Zhang Hong went to light the stove to warm the house, while Yan Li went to feed the dog.

Some leftover vegetables, meat and bones from the restaurant, mixed with bran and hot water, become dog food at home.

This treatment is definitely very good in the countryside, and the dogs in Yan Li's family are all very strong.

"Go go."

"Don't scream, I'm going to beat you up."

After not seeing him for a year, some of the dogs at home recognized Yan Li, while others had forgotten him or did not take him seriously. They bared their teeth and growled, and if they were not tied up with chains, they might bite people.

Yan Li gave a couple of warnings, then took a large spoon for dog food and caught the one that barked the loudest and gave it a beating, and the dog became obedient.

"If you yell again next time, I'll not only whip you, but also starve you for two days."

Yan Li was training the dog with a spoon when his cell phone rang. He took out his phone and saw it was Dong Xuan calling.

"Well, I'm home and feeding the dog."

"Did you receive the things I sent you? Don't be so long-winded. Just wear what I bought for you. After the New Year, I will go to the crew to see you before returning to Beijing."

"..."

After chatting for a few minutes, Yan Li hung up the phone and was about to take care of the dog when he turned around and saw Zhang Hong looking at him with sharp eyes.

"The person who called you just now, was it a woman?"
